Has there been any development in the mobile module for capturing images/bar codes? Seems like something that must exist.

Hi,

We’re looking for the same. Read QR codes and upload photos to the database directly from the camera.

In this old topic ([Barcode Scanner From Mobile Phone](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/barcode-scanner-from-mobile-phone/3090/5)) says that is not possible.

Maybe taking the photo and uploading it like any file. Is this possible with mobile module?

Greetings,
